5 years ago tomorrow

[Brenda Taylors Mom]

Tomorrow is 5 years.  Taylor, my baby boy, my little Taterbug. Im still here and you're  still there. Doesn't seem possible that I haven't seen you for 5 years... we never were apart for 5 days even.  I go over and over that evening of  Oct 7th ...you and Caleb     ... I'm remembering all the fun and beautiful times we had too.. there are so many.. I'm so honored to be your mom... I could not have ordered a more perfect boy to be my son.. I will always cherish every minute we had .. I love you so much, words can't even say.. but you know don't you buddy... Love Mom

How I understand the missing of your Taylor... doesn't seem possible that it has been 5 years... what a journey this has been.

I hope that Taylor sends you a sign and that beautiful memories keep coming to the forefront to help carry you through this difficult time, yet I know the missing never stops.

Saying TAYLOR outloud and I'll send up a balloon tomorrow in his honor.

Love,
Jeanne

I've been thinking about you all day. And, what can I say but I hope you feel my arms around you because I'm holding you SO tight and crying with you.

I understand the intense missing that feels at times, like we're going to implode. It doesn't seem possible that we survive these dates or that we've even survived the loss of our children, but we have. We are.

Your baby doll is with you, you know? Don't ever doubt that. The love we feel for our children is so immensely strong and deep that neither time nor separation can taint that love, ever.

Tay, stay extra close to your Momma right now and please send her the 'best' sign she has ever received from you! And, hug and kiss my babies for me, please.

I love you...........((((( Brenda & baby doll Taylor )))))

Dear Brenda - Five years.Your horrific journey started 4 months earlier than mine.  If you are anything like me, it is like yesterday and then it doesn't seem real.  When people talk about death in my presence, I disengage, like I don't belong in the conversation.  My boss' MIL died today, 79 years old.  Somesaid said to, it is terrible losing a Mom or anyone but I can't imagine how u feel.  I would have been pleased if she left it like that but she then said... I don't want it to ever happen to me.  Well, no... u moron, who asks to lose our child (children)... all I could say was yup...and let it go.  Who could ever imagine the heartache we went through when we heard and the heartache we feel every day...oh well, thinking of Taylor and Caleb and the fun those two had together.  Taylor looks like he has fun and the watch me look in his eyes.  Thinking of you and your family, especially on this milestone 5 year anniversary.  I will be joining the 5 years soon.

Brenda this is all so sad.  I just passed my 5 year mark in June.  When you said you were never apart from Taylor for 5 days it brought back another memory.  Donny went on a cruise for 7 days with his fiance and that was the longest I went without seeing him.  Although he called every day it hurt bad.  Now we are in this terrible situation.

Please know I am thinking of you and that handsome Taylor, your "Buddy"

Wow, I come here and read all you have written and well.. my cup runneth over ... thank you all so much for your pecious words of love and sharing my Taylor... we had a balloon release, lit the paper bag and sand candles and I'm am away for a few days.. just in a nice motel with my laptop.. it's been a deeper sad this year.. but I'm realizing how much I am blessed to have had and still have Tay in my life and memories.. my daughter April.. my grandgirls Tristin and Emily.. and all of you.. It's so nice to get on here and see all of you that remember Taylor.. he brought a lot into my life and I'm a better person for having him... I love you all. Brenda
As I was lighting the candles at the cemetary for Taylor and Caleb I stood back and looked at the sky and there was a glowing light for about 2 minutes.. I was in awe and when I started to take a picture it was gone.. it wasn't a star or a plane because it dissappeared.. THE BOYS !!!!
